    Kayak Flashlight Recommendations

    The clip comes off when you try to pull the battery tray out. I have it rotated the right way too as I can pull it out. I see online others have mentioned this same problem. The switch is useless for me. I was under the impression it would turn the light on or off as well as control the...

    Kayak Flashlight Recommendations

    I received the light in today and I've gotta say, I'm very disappointed in it. It's bright but not like I thought it would be...that's not the problem though. The clip to remove the battery is terrible and the remote is useless. All it does is toggle turbo mode...that's it. It doesn't...

    Kayak Flashlight Recommendations

    Thanks for the replies...I guess I should have mentioned, I always carry spare batteries and a headlamp, but I don't like a headlamp for kayaking. The headlamp reflects off the paddle every time I make a stroke killing my vision...it's like dark then light repeatedly and I just don't like...

    Kayak Flashlight Recommendations

    Thanks ya'll...Yeah I don't like the integrated battery...I called Nitecore and they basically said once it goes out you gotta send it in and we don't know the cost to fix it. So my guess is it would cost as much as a new one. I think I'll go with the 18650 version...it doesn't have all the...

    Kayak Flashlight Recommendations

    Thanks guys! I don't know why I didn't think about these! A remote would be killer plus I use my bicycle for hunting too and it could pull double duty. Since I'm looking at bike lights now, any other brands you'd recommend? Also would you think one would be plenty or would I possibly need...

    Kayak Flashlight Recommendations

    Hey all! I'm looking for recommendations on a flashlight for my kayak. I plan to somehow mount this to the bow (not sure how yet) so it's in front of me while I paddle. I want to go the flashlight route to save weight from not having a big battery. I also don't wanna mess with wiring. Plus...

    Best high capacity 18650?

    So currently, what's the best bang for your buck 18650 protected battery out there? (from a reputable U.S. dealer) I've been looking at 3400mAh Panasonics and the cheapest I've found has bee right under $10 each.

    Fenix TK22 vs TK16

    I thought I had settled on the TK22, but looking again at the TK32, it's a really nice light and not even a full ounce heavier. One thing I'm in between on is the beam spread. The wider beam of the TK22 could be more helpful in tracking a deer since most of my terrain is thicker wooded, but...

    Fenix TK22 vs TK16

    awesome thanks! I'm gonna go back to looking at the lights again lol. I will definitely have a spare battery. I'll try that with the Fenix site....I was looking at Mountain Electronics for the batteries and charger. I think I'm going to go with the Xtar VP2 and the Panasonic NCR 18650B...

    Fenix TK22 vs TK16

    I did look at that one heavily...but the size and weight is the only thing holding me back on it.

    Fenix TK22 vs TK16

    Awesome Thanks Celtic! Primary use will be for a mountable canoe bow navigation light but secondary will be for hunting for purposes like tracking. The other purpose will be just an all around good flashlight for tasks around the farm.

    Fenix TK22 vs TK16

    These lights look really comparable. The TK22 seems to have a longer max distance and intensity as well as a little longer run time. I also see the TK22 has an even beam with really no hotspot. Other than this why would you choose one over the other?

    Which 18650 Batteries and Charger for these lights?

    Since I'm new to this stuff I would want protected cells. I've looked at the Nitecore 3400mAh cells and Orbtronic 3400mAh cells both protected. Also Xtar protected cells too. I am in the U.S. For chargers I have looked at the Xtar VC2/VC4 as well as the Nitecore D series.
